Last week was a big one. Carlos Prates was the pick at UFC Perth and it landed. That’s 5 winning weeks out of the last 6, all logged publicly at betMMA.tips and bettin.gs before the fights start. Members had every pick.
Now UFC 328 lands at the Prudential Center in Newark with a middleweight title fight headlining. My picks and betting tips cover the full card and go in the members area before the fights start.
UFC 328 is headlined by a middleweight title fight as champion Khamzat Chimaev defends against former champion Sean Strickland. The card also features a flyweight title bout between champion Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira. Picks come with exact bets, the odds I’m targeting, and unit sizes.
Every pick is logged at betMMA.tips the moment it goes up. Nothing gets backdated or edited.

These UFC 328 predictions will cover every fight on the card once picks go live, not just the middleweight title headliner. Each play comes with the exact bet, the odds being targeted at the time of posting, and a suggested unit size so the reasoning is transparent from the first fight to the last. Picks are typically published during fight week, once official weigh-ins confirm the card and the betting lines have settled, which is why this page updates as fight night approaches. Every recommendation is logged publicly at betMMA.tips and bettin.gs before the first fight starts, so the record can’t be edited or backdated after the results are known. If you are new to MMA betting, it is worth gambling responsibly and staking only within your means using a plan sized to your own bankroll.
